Sketch V (Vîtam Agô)
The rain continued to fall, but the young man walked along the curb, ignoring the stinging drops of crystal. If someone took the chance to glance about the road, they would see a cloaked individual, short in height, and looking straight ahead with blinding blue eyes and a dead set frown. Of course, the road was empty, and no one would rather take a stroll in freezing rain.
However, the youth only ignored the rain, allowing it to frame his young, round face, and harden his light strands of hair. Looking up, the boy's stoic sapphire eyes focused on the sight in front of him.
"So, this is Twilight Town," said the boy, senselessly wiping his eyes clear of rainwater. Tightening his grip on his coat to cover his body, the boy continued his walk towards the dark abyss of what was a seemingly peaceful town.
----------
The buildings were lined together, forming groups of lines around the square. However, the ground was deserted, and the boy's footsteps were hollow and eerie. Quickly scanning the area, the boy began to walk further into the town, determined to find what lead him there.
Suddenly, only a few feet away from the boy, sprung hundreds of white, deformed beings (A/N: Dusks, but he doesn't know that). Startled, the boy stopped in his tracks and put up his arms in defense.
"What the!" the boy growled to himself, eying the unfamiliar beings before him. This was going to be a long day...
----------
Grabbing Namine's hand, Sora had decided to ignore Axel and run away. Glancing at the door, Sora made a run of it, Axel intently letting him slide; Sora saw.
Namine, dried tears decorating her face, quickly tried to snap out of it and follow in Sora's steps, taking a moment to catch the gleam in the emerald eyes of the Nobody. She also saw the man's lips curve up into a smirk.
Rushing down the curving stairs, Sora and Namine ran through the clutter of ruin to the main entrance. However, upon reaching the outside garden, the two runaways were confronted with a mob of Dusks. Halting to a sudden stop, Sora held Namine behind him with one hand, summoning the Keyblade with the other.
"You gonna protect the girl and fight? I'd like to see that!" A familiar voice echoed behind the two, and Namine turned her head to find the owner of said voice watching them. With a twinkle in his eye, Axel grinned at them, waiting for Sora to make a move.
Sora, however, only stared ahead, watching the Nobodies with intent. Namine heard him speak.
"I've protected someone before while fighting Heartless. Nobodies shouldn't be a problem!" With that said, Sora, taking a final glance at Namine, charged forward with a powerful thrust of the Keyblade. Namine covered a gasp with her hands, and Axel managed a expression of surprise.
Sora had taken out the first few rows of Nobodies with one swing. Namine took a petit step forward, but Axel put a look of disturbance on his face.
'When did he get so strong...? It is really because of--'
"Namine!"
Axel's thoughts were interrupted as Sora, having finished off the Nobody swarm, grabbed Namine's hand again, and began running towards the woods. Slowly walking up to the mansion's rusted iron gates, Axel watched the outlines of the two figures fade away into darkness.
"Won't be long now..."
----------
The rain had finally stopped falling from the darkening skies, just as the young boy watched the white beings flee from him. He was grateful, as he was stuck on how to fight off the deformed creatures.
"What were those things...? Well, doesn't matter now, since they're all gone. Now..." The boy had almost taken his first step forward when he heard footsteps approaching from the distance. Two pairs of footsteps, the boy figured. He stopped and waited to see who it was, putting his hands up in the case of enemies.
However, what he saw were not more white beings, nor was it more enemies. What he saw was a boy and girl.
"C'mon, Namine!"
"I'm trying, Sora! You run too fast!"
The one called 'Sora' looked forward and saw the young boy standing a few feet away. He abruptly stopped, causing the girl he was dragging to almost crash into him. Sora stared into the bright blue eyes of the opposing figure, wondering who he was. Namine, however, noticing the boy, widened her eyes, and she let out a gasp.
The boy, putting his arms down, took a cautious step forward. Sora instinctively moved in front of Namine in a protective stance.
"Who...who are you?"

A/N: There, chapter 5! I'm so sorry it took so long, and I'm sorry it's short! Finals are in less than two weeks, so I gotta study ;; So, don't expect chapter 6 to up soon DDD:
The chapter title "Vîtam Agô" is Latin for "live a life". I couldn't find characters with a macron (¯) over them, so yeah :D;;
Thank you for the lovely reviews!
